Jammu, February 25: Hitting out at National Conference (NC) President Farooq Abdullah for his remarks for stirring a fresh controversy by saying that the new generation of Kashmiri militants were fighting for freedom, State President Shri Ram Sena, Rajiv Mahajan said his statement was an insult to India.

By saying that Indian security forces
would not be able to defend Jammu and Kashmir from terrorists, Rajiv Mahajan said that the former Jammu and Kashmir Chief
Minister's statement would discourage the Army.

"Farooq
Abdullah's remarks will discourage the Army. Politicians should avoid making
such remarks," Rajiv told reporters, here on Saturday.

"I am deeply disappointed at Farooq Abdullah's
statement and this is a very immature remark and full of lies," Rajiv Mahajan
said.
He said Farooq Abdullah has been making a series of
controversial statements when he is out of power on issues pertaining to border
dispute between India and Pakistan.

"Abdullah had earlier courted controversy with his
remark that India should give up its conquest of trying to control the PoK as
it belonged to Pakistan," he disclosed.

"Jammu
and Kashmir is an integral part of India and by making such a statement, Farooq
Abdullah has insulted India and we do not tolerate such statement," Rajiv said.

Castigating
the Central government for its lenient policies towards separatists and stone
pelters, Rajiv Mahajan urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to give open hand to
Indian Army to tackle terrorism in the country particularly in Jammu and
Kashmir.

Saying
that while Pakistan government had ordered a 10-year jail term for a Pakistani
cricket fan, who had jubilantly waved the Indian flag in Pakistan after his
idol Virat Kohli's match-winning innings, punishing him for acting against
Pakistan's sovereignty, the government of India and Jammu and Kashmir government
on the other hand had failed to take action against stone pelters and those
anti-national elements who waived Pakistani and ISIS flags on Indian territory
against the country's sovereignty.

He
asked the Central government to take strong action against such anti-national
elements so the morale of security forces and nationalist forces gets boosted.
